Chapter 4
Rebecca could have sworn Lulu knew that guy she left with. All she knew was that his name is Logan and he's a regular, he was also her boyfriend's best friend. It was time for her to clock out and as she did so, she felt someone wrap their arms around her waist. She turned around and smiled at her boyfriend Tyler O'Connor.
"Hey Ty" she said kissing him lightly on the lips
"You know, if I can get a real kiss I might just drive you home" he smiled
"You drive me home every Friday" she said teasingly
"Hmm…well do I still get a kiss?" he asked
Rebecca shrugged and smiled before kissing him again. They broke apart when they both needed air.
"Better?" she asked
"Much" he said "Lets go"
As they were driving to her apartment, Tyler looked over and he could sense she had something on her mind
"Becca?" he said
"Hmm?" she asked still staring out the window
"What are you thinking about babe?" he asked
She shrugged "It's just you know your friend Logan?"
"Why, what did he do?" he asked
"Nothing, it's just Lulu, I kind of set her up with him and…"
"What do you mean kinda?" he asked
"Well I just told her she should put herself out there again" she said "I saw Logan sitting at the bar, and told her to go say hi…and she did"
"Ok" he said confused "I don't see what the…"
"It looked like they knew each other" she interrupted
"Huh, that's odd, because I know for a fact that Logan hasn't even dated since he moved here" he said
He knew exactly who Lulu was, and he knew exactly how they knew each other. But he wasn't about to tell Rebecca the truth even if she is his girlfriend. He made a promise to Logan not to tell anybody, and he was going to keep it. He pulled into the parking lot of the apartment building and parked the car
"I just…" she sighed "I'm so confused right now"
"I'm sure Lulu will tell you when you get up there" he said
"Yeah you're probably right" she said then opened the car door but Tyler pulled her back
"Hey, not so fast" he chuckled
"Oh, did I forget something?" she asked jokingly
He nodded before kissing her deep.
"So, I'll see you tomorrow?" he said when they finally broke apart
"Of course" she smiled before getting out of the car and walking into the building, she turned around and waved before he drove away
When she got up to the apartment, she was surprised at what she saw. She saw Lulu asleep on the couch. She walked over and tapped her on the shoulder
"Lulu?" she whispered loudly
Lulu stirred before slowly opening her eyes "Hmm, what?" she sat up "What time is it" she said with a yawn
"It's quarter after 12" Rebecca said "Why are you on the couch?"
"Uh…" Lulu said, she had to come up with a lie and fast "I was going to watch TV but I guess I fell asleep before I could turn it on"
"Oh, well" Rebecca giggled lightly "Why don't you go to bed, you look beat and I'm gonna want some answers in the morning"
And with that Rebecca went to her room.
Me too, Lulu thought to herself before she went to her room, closing the door behind her. She looked at Logan who was sleeping peacefully lying on his stomach…in her bed. She decided she'd get a better sleep in her bed anyway so she crawled in the other side and almost immediately fell asleep when her head hit the pillow. The last thought on her mind before she drifted off to sleep was how safe she felt.
Logan woke up first and looked over to the nightstand to see what time it was. Then he realized he wasn't in his room. He felt the bed shift beside him looked over to see Lulu sleeping. Logan had figured it was just a dream, but it wasn't.
I have to get out of here, he thought to himself. He quietly got out of the bed, careful not to wake her up. He managed to find his car keys. He smiled because they drove there in his car, and Lulu's was still at the bar…she was not going to be happy, but he had to leave, he couldn't put her in danger.
He snuck out of the building and to his car, he took one look back before he drove away.
Tyler woke up to persistent knocking on his door. He groaned and looked at the time…5:33. He turned over and put a pillow over his head hoping it would drown out the sound. But he had no such luck. He reluctantly got up and answered the door.
"Ugh, dude do you have any idea what time it is?" Tyler said
"Yeah" Logan said
"Why didn't you just go back to your place?" he asked, by the expression on Logan's face he knew why "Cops again?"
Logan nodded
"You know Loge, you could end this all right now" he said "Just go after the idiot that set you up"
"It's not that simple Ty" he said "Those people, they don't back down, you get one of them then another one comes at you with a vengeance"
"Gee, sounds like your dealing with the mob" Tyler said sarcastically "Logan, you know who's doing this so why not put a stop to it"
"Yeah, that'll just give them all the more reason to arrest me" Logan said
"Loge, I'm not talking about murder or anything" Tyler said "Just set them up like they set you up"
"Oh, and how am I supposed to do that?" Logan snapped
"Relax dude" Tyler said "You told me you were planning on setting this guy up before, so just do it again"
"Yeah with my luck, this time I'll get myself killed" Logan said
"Oh come on" Tyler said "You told me that Lulu didn't mean to do that"
"She didn't" Logan agreed
Tyler thought for a minute "Here's a thought, tell her what's going on, she could help you"
"I already told you, she doesn't know I'm here and its better that way" he lied
"Bullshit" Tyler said
"What?"
"Bullshit" Tyler said again chuckling "Becca told me that Lulu left the bar with you last night"
Logan looked down "I don't want to get her hurt or worse" he said quietly
"You won't" Tyler said "Now why don't you sit your ass on the couch, cuz I'm tired and I'm going back to bed…we'll talk about this more later alright"
Logan just sighed and nodded
Lulu woke up and looked over to see that Logan wasn't there. He didn't leave a note, nothing. She thought it was his way of not wanting to talk or tell her why the police were after him. She sighed and got out of bed. She saw that Rebecca was just finishing up her breakfast; she looked up when she heard Lulu come out.
"Well there you are sleepyhead" Rebecca said
"Ha, funny" Lulu said pouring herself a bowl of cereal
"So…" Rebecca started
"So…what?"
"So, how'd it go last night?" Rebecca asked
"How'd what go?" Lulu asked
"Come on Lulu, you know what I'm talking about" Rebecca said "How'd it go with you and Logan? He obviously drove you home because your car is still at the bar"
"What?" she asked, then she realized she never did mention his name to Rebecca "Oh, good"
"Ok" Rebecca said "Now are you going to explain, how you know him? Because it was pretty obvious that you did"
"Becca" Lulu sighed
"Well, you said you'd explain" Rebecca smiled "So get to it"
"Jeeze you're persistent" Lulu said "Alright, I knew him from back home"
"And…?"
"And, we were together for a while" Lulu said
"Oh, so is he the mobster wannabe" she said scrunching up her nose, because just from what Lulu told her, she didn't like him "Or is he that bad boy that loved you?" she smiled
"Uh…the second one" Lulu said and couldn't stop a smile from forming
"So is he alright?" Rebecca asked remembering what Lulu had told her about that night
Lulu nodded "Yeah, he got help" she smiled, then gave Rebecca a weird look "How'd you know his name?"
"Well, he's a regular at the bar and…he's Tyler's best friend" she laughed at Lulu's shocked expression
"You lied, you said you didn't know him" Lulu said sternly
"I don't really, I only met him a couple times" Rebecca said then looked at the clock "Ok, I have to go, Ty's picking me up any minute" she looked at Lulu "I'll ask him to give you a ride to get your car"
"No, I'm fine I can walk" Lulu said
"You're right, you'll be fine because we're driving you" Rebecca said ""Besides, I have to get my purse"
"You left it there again?" Lulu laughed "I'm surprised it doesn't get stolen"
"Hey, it's in a locker" she said "And I was kind of busy last night"
"Yeah, I'm sure Tyler keeps you busy" Lulu laughed
"Oh, shut up" she said "Come on"
"Fine" Lulu replied
Tyler picked them up and drove them to the bar, Rebecca went in to get her purse. As Lulu was walking to her car, Tyler called her back over.
"Lulu" he said
"Yeah" she replied walking back over
"You know he really is just looking out for you" he said
"I know" she said then caught a look in his eyes "Did he tell you why the cops are after him?"
"Yeah, but I can't tell you, you'll have to find out from him" he said
"Where is he?" she asked
"Uh…he'll probably kill me for telling you" Tyler smiled "But he's at my place, he was still asleep on the couch when I left"
"Thanks" she said
"Oh and Lulu, don't tell him I told you" he smiled
"I won't" she smiled back before getting in her car
She drove away, hoping Logan would give her the answers that she so desperately wanted and hoping he'd let her help him.
